To be fair CUs have to be careful, too many people in serious financial bother who could really do with a few grand but who mightn't be all too sure of being able to pay it back.

I heard it's more along the lines of them getting carried away 5-10 years ago giving out free/not properly backround checked loans to family members of staff and the odd big loan to pure chancers already massively in arears.

Yet it's always Joe soap who saves regular and has a perfect repayment record who is made to feel like is coming in with his hat out begging.

Sounds like utter bollocks tbh about the family members, the chancers bit is what they're trying to avoid now, as they got burned.

To my earlier point, many folk with perfect repayment records in the past may well be up the creek now.

Jesus RJ that makes no sense and you know it in terms of remayment viability, also the CU did get burned and it's part of the reason for the measures

Autosport

My local CU hasnt given out loans to anyone in over a year.

Went for a drive today, went through Clonmel, New Inn, Cashel, Dundrum, Golden, Bansha, Tipp town and then back through Urlingford and into Kilkenny city and then home Anyone else love going for drives on a beautiful day

That on the Beemer? Not fun.

Well, on the car version. It's random, still driving fairly ok but obviously its far from well. Parked in the driveway now. Not such an issue as I don't need it.

Such is life when I insist on buying cheap used cars. Funnily enough its the first car in years I was comfortable and happy with.

Supergurrier

What i meant is they got in with BIG loans which they are not set up to deal with structurewise like property developer chancers it wasn't some scoby getting a loan for a trip to Ibiza and not paying it back

I am going to be importing a Black R34 GTT (1998 - 2001), I already have a company picked out to source me a car over in Japan and I will make a guide to importing once I get it as a lot of info on the internet is outdated when it comes to importing from Japan or Ireland. Still not sure if I will go for a 2 door or a 4 door, the 2 door has the coolness factor but the 4 door is convenient for the family.

Supergurrier

Gotta be a 2 door cmon

Autosport

I'd pick the 4 dr but thats just for practical use Both gorgeous though

TestTransmission

4 door imo

dgt

4 doors for more wh......atchamacallits easier access to the rear seats for passengers!

Gary ITR

I want a 4 door race car, nothing like opening the rear door to see a cage

just back from mondello modified live! myself and the missus had our first "major" trade stand there today, was a great experience. i'd never been to mondello before, was a great day out, a real feast for the senses, the sounds and smells and cars flying around

Looking forward to updates on the car and the importing.

Has to be the 2 door

If usually say 2 door but I'm going with 4 door here, they just look unreal.
4 door drift cars.

Exactly this, was all set on 2 door till I looked at the photos... and the 4 door just looks awesome. The rear half almost has a whiff of Mercedes W201 Cosworh about it.

CianRyan

Another 4 door favourite of mine is the JZX100.

Ronnie Beck

It's growing on me. Must be getting old :pac:

I'm surprised you didn't suggest this!

CianRyan

What is this? I don't even?!
Is that a chaser with an S13 front end?
Details?

Cefiro A31. Quit a hoot, same engines as in the Skyline at the time

I got a go in one when in Manila 4 years ago

CianRyan

Ah I should have known that!
I really thought they were the lights off a PS13 though.
It's been a long day. :pac:

Morning lads,

Didnt wanna start a thread, and I reckon this doesn't really fall into bangernomics..

I'm on the lookout for something very cheap & very nasty,

The nastier the better,(sub 4/500) test not important, once it looked like it could pass one it will do, tax would get you a blue peter badge

Fuel type: unimportant - but diesel a bonus (diesel card)

Any of ye spotted/have anything some way presentable lying around / filling a hole in a ditch that runs & will do a few thousand miles?

I'm thinking xantia/205/306/golf/carina/cit zx/audi 80/... anything that's not huge engine wise.

Id rather avoid anything sub 1.4 also..

Edit: Im in the kildare/dublin area btw...

ShadowHearth

4 Door all the way. More rare, looks cooler. You get a "pimp" member card too! :pac:

I miss my old pimp mobile

Only in Lithucorkia would you find a clock on the OUTSIDE of a house :pac:
